Pulsate enables you to track actions that your user's have taken within your app by setting custom events. You can track these custom events to get a better idea of the customer journey within your app. You can also deliver targeted campaigns to users based on their actions within the app.
[block:callout]

"type": "info",
"title": "Custom Event Campaign Example",
"body": "You create a campaign with a coupon for a variety of clothes. You decide to show this campaign on *didPressClothesButton* event trigger.

To enable Pulsate to track these events, use the *createEvent:* method on the Pulsate Manager object:
[block:code]
{
"codes": [
{
"code": "[pulsateManager createEvent:@\"didPressClothesButton\"];",
"language": "objectivec"
}
]
}
[/block]
[block:code]
{
"codes": [
{
"code": "pulsateManager.createEvent(\"didPressClothesButton\")",
"language": "swift"
}
]
}
[/block]
Once those custom events have been set, every time a user completes that action, it will be recorded by Pulsate and you can chooses those events in the Targeting section when you are sending a campaign.
